I have noticed a lot of discussion on product pricing. Here is the original Excel pricing worksheet (with a few updates and modifications) that I posted a few years back. It has made the rounds through other forums and has been modified several times by other users. Feel free to use it and to modify it to suit your needs.

Worksheet looks good, been messing with it this afternoon, converted it to metric and ??? etc

What I'm wondering is how to arrive at the the preset costs like pierce cost and cost per distance cut.

Design time seems easy, metal costs plus 50% is ok too.

I've tried a few figures but not happy with it yet.

I run a home micro business - garden stuff etc but also occasionally get asked to cut custom stuff and find it really hard to keep plucking figures out of the air, this sheet should help when I get the framework correct.

Thanks for the excel spreadsheets guys! Much appreciated! I'm just getting into plate cutting and this will help a lot. [email protected], I have a question about your spreadsheet (I hope you don't think it's a dumb question).... GST & PST. What do those blocks stand for in your spreadsheet? Thank you in advance!

So if I am reading your spreadsheet correctly the only factor that affects price is material cost, number of pierces and Mark Up???If I change Total design time it doesn't affect Total job costIf I change Job Time it doesn't affect Total job cost.If I change number of pierces Total job cost changes.If I change Design cost per minute Total job cost doesn't changeIf I change Job Cost per minute Total job cost doesn't change.

Doesn't seem right. I am running Xcel 2007 on Windows 10 platform which may be the issue??
